Practice like the
real assessment.
Realistic simulations of the psychometric tests used by UK train operating companies — including the Vigilance Test and ATAVT. Pay once, practice as many times as you need.
What's included
Three tests included
Two digital simulations and one printable concentration test — all modelled on the psychometric assessments used by real UK train operating companies.
Vigilance Test
A grey square sits in the centre of the screen. Watch it for 30 minutes and press Space the moment it turns black. Tests sustained attention — a core skill for train drivers.
- ✓30-minute full-length simulation
- ✓Random stimulus intervals
- ✓Scored on hits, misses & reaction time
ATAVT
A traffic scene flashes for 1 second. Identify which elements you saw — lights, vehicles, pedestrians, signs, bicycles, motorcycles. Tests perceptual speed and scene awareness.
- ✓20 scenes per session
- ✓Brief flash per scene
- ✓Per-element identification scoring
Group Bourdon Test
A concentration test used in train driver assessments. Rows of dot groups are printed on a sheet — find and cross out every group with exactly 4 dots as fast as you can.
- ✓Print a unique sheet every time
- ✓400 dot groups per sheet
- ✓Answer key included on page 2
The vigilance test
Simple concept. Harder than it sounds.
A grey square sits in the centre of the screen. When it briefly turns black, press Space. For 30 minutes. Staying focused the whole time is the real challenge — just like monitoring a signal panel on a real journey.

FAQ
Common questions
Which train companies use these tests?
The Vigilance test (WAFV) and ATAVT are part of the standard OPC test battery used by virtually all UK Train Operating Companies including Avanti West Coast, GTR, Northern, Southeastern, CrossCountry, ScotRail and more. Governed by RSSB standard RIS-3751-TOM.
Is this the same as the real test?
Our tests match the format and parameters of the real OPC assessment — 30 minutes for the Vigilance test, brief flashes for ATAVT. No practice site can replicate the exact proprietary software, but the format is calibrated to match.
What happens after I pay?
You get instant access to both tests with unlimited attempts. Access never expires.
Do I need to do the Vigilance test in one sitting?
Yes — the real test is 30 minutes continuous. Our practice test matches this. Use the "Stop early" option to build up gradually, but aim to complete the full 30 minutes before your assessment day.
Can I get a refund?
Because you receive immediate access to digital content, we don't offer refunds. Contact us if you have any issues.
